About Us

Going from strength to strength since 1977.

Rathcoole Boys Football Club was established in 1977 to cater for and supply soccer football for the boys and girls of Rathcoole, Saggart and the surrounding areas.

Success has been experienced over the years with teams playing in South Dublin Football League, Dublin District Schoolboys League with Senior Teams in the Leinster Senior League.

We have been fortunate enough over the years to have been able to secure our own grounds at Frank Cox Park, in very close proximity to Rathcoole, and we can be easily found signposted off the main street adjacent to Credit Union and the entrance to Forest Hills.

Presently our grounds comprises of updated clubhouse with dressing rooms, showers, coffee shop, two all-weather seven aside pitches, one floodlight sand based pitch, full size grass pitch, two small sized pitches and floodlit training areas. Our facilities while being used by our own club are also used by local Rathcoole & Saggart schools for football and sports days, while the South Dublin Football League have held their Cup Finals in Rathcoole in recent years.

We are also home to Rathcoole Warriors, a special needs team, who play and train in our club, with Special Olympics Ireland in turn holding annual field day and provincial games in Rathcoole. Our all-weather pitches are used nightly for club training and public letting, also Superfit Ireland have now established gym facilities again within our facility, all easily accessible with car parking.

On the football front we presently provide football from the very young to U17 Premier Level football. Beginning with our Saturday Morning Academy at 10 o’clock for children 5 -7 years, thereafter 18 schoolboy teams at all age groups up to U17 Premier level (Saturday and Sunday), giving us a total of 21 teams.
